I found myself squirming in my seat as well as I read your description. I’m sorry–I hope you can both achieve that balance. I found myself squirming in my seat as well as I read your description.

Glad you've discontinued those meds; I hope you find something that strikes a healthy balance without the "psychic island" effect!

In my opinion, a happy child IS a symptom of a healthy balance. I think it means you are pointed in the right direction at least, whereas being whacked out and feeling crazy is a symptom of imbalance. Best of luck - we're rowing in a similar boat.

Seems a terribly high price to pay for fluent speech. No wonder you don't sound at all keen to prolong the experience. When in doubt, I too choose happy above all, especially if the price doesn't seem right. Best of luck to both of you. Monosyllabic and happy or voluble and tormented in psychic island?

I agree with the above post that said talking is over rated. I talk less than I blog sometimes except for all my talking to a 3 yr old with faulty reception. :) What an awful experience for him and you!
